This kind of restoration is an exploration of how something was made as much as it is a restoration. It's not the cost of the restoration, as much as it is a visit in time to past craftsmanship, technique and problem solving.

Extraordinary patience and talent! Fora moment I thought you would repair the glass, and you did.

This man making war on sharp edges makes my day :D

"I can't repair these rivets" Lathe : *MY TIME HAS COME*

"I CANT MAKE A NEW ONE" finally add in the dictionary.. now i believe he is still human.. :p

Reminds me of watching my Dad in his tool and die shop. I learned a lot about working with metals and tools. Metals Engineers could do anything they put their mind to. Sure miss him. You’re lucky to have the interest and mind for this there are few left. 👍🏻❤️🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

I love these videos, it gives me faith that he will figure out how to do this with people.

every video I watch of yours I just get more and more impressed, you are a one of a kind!!

This is my favorite restoration video on youtube

I never know what my favorite step in the process of these is. But I think it’s a tie between “I make a new one” and sandblasting 😍

Definitely sand blasting, watching him get rid of all the crud and remaining rust is so satisfying.

Wie immer: Das Video ist entspannender als eine heisse Badewanne und Entspannungsmusik... Danke!

Seeing this oil lamp brings back childhood memories. I am 25. Yeah, it might be strange for you but we used these occasionally until 20 years ago.

All you need is the right tools. Great Job. I'm glad you tested it at the end.

My 5 and 8 year old: “I love all the sounds.” These are a great lesson in reuse. Thanks for another great one.

I like the sounds too, but the screeching glass makes my teeth hurt! lol

I really feel like this is modern art. Something as simple as an old barn lamp has become a beautiful talking piece.

Beautiful restoration! Love this lamp😊
